As the UK’s gas supplies dwindle, British utility Centrica is in talks to secure the country’s first long-term LNG import deal with the US. We find out why the US is such an attractive market for natural gas buyers.

We also look at a new chemical looping technology, which has the potential to reduce or eliminate CO2 and NOx emissions from the coal-based power generation process, and find out how India’s power sector is planning to use supercritical solutions to clean up thermal generation.
As a new report reveals an ongoing health issue caused by fumes from coal-fired generation, costing the EU €42.8bn in healthcare costs a year, we investigate if a renewed reliance on cheap coals in Europe could be turning into a false economy. Moreover, we look at the progress of the controversial Keystone XL Pipeline in the US, and profile major new coal and gas power projects under construction.

Next issue: Big Plans, Small Reactors
While planning a new wave of nuclear plants the UK is also counting the cost of decommissioning the facilities that are approaching the end of their service lives. We explore the technology and financial backing required to safely and sustainably take nuclear plants offline, including innovations such as the LaserSnake hazardous decommissioning device.
We also take a look at promising new technologies such as the small modular reactor developed by Babcock & Wilcox with funding from the US Department of Energy, and a new molten salt reactor concept designed at the MIT which the developers say is meltdown-proof and fuelled by nuclear waste.
Moreover, we hear from GlobalData about Saudi Arabia’s extensive plans to develop nuclear power capacity, and take a look at major industry projects as well as NASA-funded research into the possibility of replacing rocket fuel with nuclear fusion to power spacecraft.
